An orthosis that combines compression and extra support for the ankle. Made of a special material with high compression over the joint and silicone pads. To provide extra support and stability it has a semielastic strap that can be applied for individual support. Using the orthosis during activity prevents swelling of the joint. Can be used both for left and right. DeRoyal Co-Tex orthoses should only be used during activity due to the higher compression. People with reduced sensitivity or poor circulation should not use orthosis without consulting a doctor/physician first.
